If you like donald trump because you say he’s good for the economy, while ignoring the environmental repercussions of his executive actions, being completely apathetic to the fact America was made great by immigrants, believing that abortion should be criminalized, and that the media should be suppressed… well then my friend, you have made it perfectly clear that money is more important to you than people.

The best-case scenario is that Trump won’t do any of the things he said he would.

Worst-case scenario is that he gets us in WWIII.

Another odd scenario is that Trump’s fascist agenda lasts for the next 4-8 years (though I think he will get himself impeached before then). The rich get richer and the poor get poorer until they’re about to break. The youth of today listen to Senator Sander’s message of social justice, and his benevolent revolution falls into the hands of disgruntled youth who overtake the government in a military coup, establishing socialism as the New Normal.

What I really think will be interesting is the overall reaction of middle America in a few years, when they finally open their eyes after they realize they’ve lost their medicare benefits, social security is gone, interest rates, inflation, and gas prices go through the roof, coastal cities begin to flood, and they are taxed through the nose to pay for that stupid wall. Not to mention when they realize that all those supposed tax breaks really only benefit a select few- namely corporations, the rich, and wealthy married people. Never mind if/when we find ourselves in an all-out war.

It is NOT NORMAL for a president-elect to use Twitter to communicate about his presidential actions and go without a press conference. A normal president would use the press to communicate and hold a press conference on average 3 days after an election.

It is NOT NORMAL for a president-elect’s public criticism of a company to cause their stocks to tank. A normal president is diplomatic in critiquing businesses publically because he or she values the people and jobs that company represents.

This tweet from DJT: Just watched @NBCNightlyNews – So biased, inaccurate and bad, point after point. Just can’t get much worse, although @CNN is right up there!

Compated to this tweet from Dan Diamond‏ @ddiamond:
Weirdest thing: I just watched Obama meet journalists who have criticized him — and he simply shook hands and thanked them for their work.

It is NOT NORMAL for a president elect to promise a press-covered event regarding his business conflicts of interests, then postpone via Twitter the night before because he’s is “busy.” A normal president would have already dealt with any business conflicts and kept his or her promise to the American people.

It is NOT NORMAL for scientists who study the einvironment to be afraid. It is NOT NORMAL for a president-elect to request the names of people who do this work. A normal president values experts who can inform policy with solid scientific data.

It is NOT NORMAL for the adult child (and business partner) of a president to move in to the White House. A normal president keeps business connections at an approproate distance and avoids conflicts of interest.
